Hard to believe. Two weeks. Gone in an instant. But not without some remarkable projects (stay tuned) and wonderful fellowship. Saturday was the last day in Rome for most of the participants and staff, so the most was made to tweak projects and presentations.
Saturday night at PALEXPO the worshoppers presented to special guests and faculty. Each workshop participant created a product related to their stay in Rome. The work was conceived and produced in less than one week. They ranged from book to app, from map to souvenir, from custom typefaces to distinct patterns, they are the result of the inspiring classes we've provided and direct consultation with Louise Fili.
This event was just the beginning. For many, these projects are entrepreneurial stepping stones. Or they can be the beginning of other design research.
